VINTAGE REPORT
In past years, particularly 2021 and 2023, I noted those vintages were among the most challenging we’d faced. It turns out I spoke too soon. We entered the 2024 season with optimism following a mild fall and winter. Unfortunately, that hope was quickly dashed by a devastating cold snap in mid-January. Temperatures plummeted from 0°C on January 10 to -14°C the next day, then to -23°C
on January 12, ultimately bottoming out at -27°C on January 13. The result was catastrophic vine death and severe crop loss. Early bud tests revealed no signs of life, and we braced for the worst—preparing to replant nearly everything.
As spring arrived cool and wet, bud break was delayed and uneven. To our relief, many vines produced cane growth and leaves. In Naramata, most vines survived, but Oliver suffered extensive damage, forcing us to remove entire blocks of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These will be replanted in 2025. Throughout the season, even with little to no fruit, we maintained our spray programs and nutrient applications to preserve vine health and give ourselves the best possible foundation for 2025. By harvest’s end, the vineyards looked healthy, offering cautious optimism for the future. Given the crop loss in the South Okanagan, we sourced premium fruit from trusted growers in Washington State and California to meet production needs. This ensured our business’s sustainability, kept our valued team employed, and allowed us to continue investing in our BC vineyards—all while providing our cherished customers with the quality wines they expect from Township 7.
